Rain On It's Way
It's Time
No matter what my plans may have been
When the weather refuses to cooperate
I head indoors and leave the yard for another day
Around the second week in October
I usually put away the yard decorations and plastic black fencing
Before the frost comes
By now all leaves have fallen
I mulch them with my lawn mower
They are good for the soil and grass
By the end of the winter they will have started to compost
Neighbors bag them up and haul them away
I like to put them to good use
It takes more time and doesn't look as nice
In the end it works out well
Natures own natural soil additive
Branches fall from the rain and the wind
I burn them in a little fire pit out back
At 5:54 it's pitch black
In the summertime it doesn't turn dark till 8:30
All the pretty flowers are gone
The looks plain and bare
I pulled up the garden and ripped up the tomato plants and weeds
The weather is turning colder at night
Chance of snow up North
Real windy the past two days
Happy Halloween to all the trick or treators
May they have fun pretending to be their favorite Super Hero
Maybe a Princess or even a horse
It's nice to watch them laugh and be so happy
I enjoyed Halloween when I was young
Leaving with a little candy and a memory
